In our relationships, we use nonverbal gestures to communicate love, appreciation, apologies, and other complex feelings. We might make a loved one a surprise breakfast, water their plants, send them a postcard, or come up with a secret handshake. In this session, we’ll explore these gestures of care with Posenet and p5.js. We'll reflect on how care gestures emerge in our relationships, and create gestural artifacts to send to our loved ones.

Biography: Jules Kris (he/they) is a media artist, game maker, and creative technologist who uses software “incorrectly” to invent alternative interfaces for their body when mainstream technologies fail them. He can be found co-organizing events with Tiny Tech Zines and cooking comically large pots of soup for friends.
